A White Giraffe Photograph

Charles Foley has taken the photograph of a lifetime.

Foley works for the Wildlife Conservation Society in Tanzania, at the Tarangire National Park.  In 1993, he began hearing rumors of the existence of a white giraffe.  He kept his eyes pealed for twelve years, but never saw it.  

Recently, he was in a helicopter conducting an aerial survey of elephants when he spotted the elusive giraffe.  Click here to see his photograph of it.  It’s gorgeous – all white except for the legs, which are the usual brown.  

According to Foley, the giraffe is not a true albino, just a lighter color than usual.
